National Institute of Technology - [NITP], Patna - Hostel Details

First-year NIT Patna boys are allotted separate hostels with two/three-seater rooms. The rooms are not very great. There are single seater rooms also, but they are very small in number. There are three hostels for fresher boys- Sone Hostel Block A and B, Kosi Extension near Ganga Ghat, and Ganga Hostel. 

From the second year onwards, you will get a different hostel. There are mainly double-seater rooms in this one. Only 10 out of 500 rooms are four-seater. In this hostel, you will get to meet your seniors. 

The mess food isn’t good. Drinking water, common rooms, and washrooms are good. The premises have space where you can play underarm cricket, badminton and volleyball. In the fresher hostels, you won’t encounter any seniors. I don’t know much about the Girls’ hostel, just the name- Ganga Hostel.

Overall, the boys’ hostels are pretty average at NIT Patna. The senior hostel is comparatively better and new.

A friend told me that NIT Patna has some of the best hostels in the country. There are a total of 5 hostels out of which 3 are new while 2 are old. five hostels, out of which three are newly built.

The amazing thing is that all three newly built hostels look almost the same, both from the outside and inside.

• Brahmaputra Hostel ( for boys)

• Kosi Hostel (for boys)

The other hostels are Bagmati Hostel (for boys), Sone Hostel (for boys), and Ganga Hostel (for girls). These look similar to the hostels shown above.
